A Busy Railroad Man.

Mr.. VIM. NJ. Clements, the gener-
al manager of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, is one of
the busy men in the railroad service
whose good work tells to advan-
tage. He devotes his time to i'm
proving the efficiency of the opera
ting department of the road, and he
is meeting with Both tray
elers and shippers recognize this,
and they are complimentary to the
manager for the promptuess with
which the business is handled
Among the railroad men the Old
Hoss,' the name which they gave to
Mr.. Clements as a mark of their
kindly feeling, is universally popu-
lar, and he is considered as n of
themselves, who has risen through
merit. The management of the OPP
Grating department of a great rail-
road is a responsible task, and it is
worthy of note that while the affairs
of the company in other directions
are attracting general attention, pub
lie confidence is bestowed upon the
general manager to a degree that
must be satisfactory to him and to
his Observation-Disclosures Sun.

Charlie Rouss in Winchester.

-
To turn aside for a day from the
hum of n busy business life, and
spend q few hours with the friends of
carly boyhood days. is a pleasant re-
creation to any man of ordinary
sensibilities, but when to such q
pleasure is added an unaffected,
hearty reception such as was accord
ed to Mr.. c. B. Rouss, of New York,
ut his old home in Winchester, Va,
last Thursday, the delight must be in
creased an hundred fold. Learning
that this gentleman would visit the
Shenandoah Valley Fair on that day,
his many friends prepared to give
him q warm welcome and to make it
the occasion Of some little demonstra-
tions in his honor. A band of music
was secured, hacks provided, and
Mr.. Rouss escorted through the town
to the fair grounds, where he was
kept busy for several hours in receiv-
ing and greeting a host of friends,
many of whom he had not seen since
they were boys together at school,
and others not before since they
marched shoulder to shoulder together
in the ranks of Stonewall Jackson
At night the Friendship Fire Compa-
ny had a torchlight procession in
honor of Mr.. Rouss, and wound up
with a magnificent ~pyrotechnic dis
play, such rs Winchester has seldom,
If ever, eel
The royal reception given Charlie
Rouss at Winchester, last Thursday,
as VIC have said above, must have
been a great delight not only to the
giver but to the receiver. We re-
gard it not at all as smacking of toady-
ism, but as the generous expression
of a high regard for the millionaire
merchant who, amid all the ups and
downs of life, has never forgotten
the scenes of his early struggles and
the people among whom he began his
business life; and who has repeated
ly, out of his ~well-earned profits, left
with them munificent contributions to
aid various worthy organizations in
their midst.

MiddIeway Items.

Our town contains two happy par

preachers constitute the source of
this joy.
Improvements on all the public
buildings of the place have been, or
will be made. The NJ. E.. Church
South, rebuilt a couple of years ago,
has been followed by the rebuilding
of the NJ. p. Church, the erection of
a handsome addition to the p. L. rec
tory, and soon the Union Church is to
be repaired and new roof put on the
Masonic Hall.

undertake the improvement of the

would erect better dwellings than
those they now occopy, and also re-
move the hog-pens back from the

to enjoy the occasion very much.
AS there has been a great dizziness
in the matrimonial market this year,

by our young friends, and that the
parsons may enjoy such a BOOM
in that special line of their business
as will make them happier than ever.
